I think he meant secant.

Athena, Shmathena... I'm really looking forward to getting a Semroc Starlight.

(just kidding -- I'd love to see an Athena. Also, a Baby Athena. )

The Estes Starlight was going to be the 6th addition to my little fleet, way back in the magic years. Oh, how I wanted one! I think I had the order form already made out. It would have taken its place next to my Sprite; they would be the stars of my fleet, my favorites. But stuff intervened, and it never happened. I am thrilled to see it ranking so high in the voting. They say that you never get second opportunities in life. But "they" obviously never met Carl.

Wew, I'm glad you cleared that up. I was thinking the Estes 4 plastic fin, plastic nose cone thing from the early 90's, and wondering what all the fuss was about!

Nah, The Enerjet Athena has to be one of the more elegant rockets ever marketed and produced. Cloning one is not all that difficult with the exception of the 2 wraps needed to complete the look. I think these wraps were from the 1/100 scale Saturn 1B ?
Every now and then, one can find these wraps for sale on ebay; I think I paid over $25 for mine. Without the shipping!

But she turned out great!
I have not used a 29mm motor yet; just the 24mm with an adapter. I flew her first on an E-9, and she performed beautifully.

I will risk taking this thread tangent to it's original purpose once again.

Thank you for the compliment. Many of my Enerjet models have been flown at NARAMs.

I may have to update my Enerjet family picture sometime.

I plead guilty to sitting in seat B14, but don't understand the E78 comment.
I don't think that engine ever even existed.

Yes, there is such a thing as NORMAL, if you have to ask what is "NORMAL" , you probably aren't !
Failure may not be an OPTION, but it is ALWAYS a POSSIBILITY.
ALL systems are GO for MAYHEM, CHAOS, TURMOIL, FIASCOS, and HAVOC !

I didn't get that one either.

I could get definitely behind that kit. I'm all for scale, especially Deci-scale. But the poll wasn't about what kits Semroc should produce, but rather, what kits Semroc should produce in time for NARAM.
